Program In Science, Technology, And Society


Sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan, East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal (EASTS) aims to bring together East Asian and Western scholars from the fields of science, technology, and society (STS). Majors are well-prepared for graduate studies, as well as career fields as diverse as the health sciences, law, education, science writing, public policy, and environmental studies. That technology can then be used to advance our scientific knowledge as well.

Since the 1950s, under congressional mandate, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) – through its National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) and … Read More..
